Key Icons

Across

I forget, what was the point of those again? Some sort of backup, right?



Also, if I change a password, the password for the entry with the key icon doesn't change. Why is that?

Welcome to the forums, Across. It took me a second to figure out what you meant, but I think you are referring to Generated Password items ([b]Preferences > General > Display in Sidebar > Generated Passwords[/b]).



Generated Password items exist as a safety net in case you forget to save a Login after using one to create an account somewhere. You can always go back and copy the password from the Generated Password item.



If you generate a new password, a new Generated Password item is created. There is one for each password you generate. The old ones are never modified, otherwise they wouldn't be very helpful if you needed to refer to back to one of them.



I treat it like my Gmail archive. I never look at it, but I can search it if I ever need to. And I have certainly needed to once or twice after I thought I had saved a login but hadn't. Saved my bacon on more than one occasion.



I hope that helps. Please let me know.
